ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

Our Mission

The Binghamton University Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation established to
raise funds that further the purpose and mission of Binghamton University. Staff members and volunteers working on behalf of the Foundation foster and maintain partnerships
with alumni, parents, friends and members of the University community.

The Foundation also educates others about charitable giving, matches institutional
fund-raising priorities with donors’ charitable intentions and provides stewardship
of all assets held in trust for the benefit of Binghamton University.

About 80 percent of Binghamton’s student population qualifies for need-based financial
aid. Our incoming freshmen boast the highest average SAT scores of any SUNY university
center, making merit-based scholarships another priority. To assist with these needs,
the Foundation administers 218 named scholarships, 123 named awards and 19 fellowships.
Combined with internships, graduate-travel support and emergency loans, the Foundation
provides nearly $1.5 million in aid each year to deserving Binghamton students.

The Foundation also contributes funding for faculty hiring and retention, research
support, academic programs, awards and grants, career networking and job placement
assistance, admissions and alumni programs, general support, and the flexibility for
Binghamton University to meet a variety of ongoing and critical needs.

The Binghamton University Foundation Board of Directors consists of alumni, friends and elected officers. We invite you to contact one of
our staff members for more information about Binghamton University and the Binghamton University Foundation.
